At that time, the city of Delhi had been completely under military control, with the officers of the army in charge.

Even at night, the streets of the city were lined with soldiers from the Marbury Army.

The civilians of Delhi did not understand that the warriors were carrying kerosene gas lamps, which they believed were the legendary Lotus lanterns that would never be blown out.

There are so many rumors about the Imperial army and the army of the Marbury Nation, and almost all of them are connected to the gods...... Suffice it to say that there are no people in the entire Delhi region who dare to question their strength.

Rumors always get more and more amazing the more they spread...... In short, this greatly facilitated Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin's complete and thorough acceptance of the basic management of the entire region.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin directly announced that he would reduce taxes by one-third, and in his plan, he could further reduce taxes after the full promotion of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and high-yielding rice.

He also hired all the craftsmen in the city of Delhi and instructed them to process and produce the basic materials needed for the construction of the new district of Delhi.

He confiscated the lands of the Sultan's royal family and other nobles around the city of Delhi, and then asked his men to adjust and exchange the fields with others...... Since it has been developed for thousands of years, the privatization of land is extremely serious.

With the exception of the Sultan's royal family and its vested interests, he did not want to take over other people's land, so he had to make room for the construction of new districts.

He really couldn't stand the smell of Derry City...... People who are accustomed to living in a homeless house will definitely not want to live in a pigsty by themselves.

Besides, the Federal Empire has always been a builder.

While Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin was bothering to manage the whole of Delhi, Major Du sent back the good news that he had successfully captured the city of Lalkot with very few casualties.

He carefully read the battle report that had been sent to him and found that it was a half-fought battle.

Major Du first bombarded the walls of Larkot City, which frightened the other party.

They all ran off the city wall and didn't dare to show their heads, but they didn't run away, and they were ready to borrow the buildings in the city to fight in the streets!

Under the command of the Imperial Air Force hot air balloon, the mortars of the Imperial Army bombed the ambushes who wanted to fight in the streets.

Major Du did not use rockets on a large scale, he was afraid of causing a fire in the city and causing casualties among innocent people...... What did the burned city do to him? What is the attraction of a place without the right workforce to him?!

Immediately afterward, a miracle happened...... After they sent their infantry into the city, before they could put two rows of guns, the Delhi Sultan surrendered directly with the other nobles!

Major Du couldn't laugh or cry at the time, he thought that the other party would flee through the city under their squeezing attack...... He wanted commoner labor, and what was the use of the old and incompetent nobles to him......

He hurriedly escorted those nobles back to Delhi City to be dealt with by Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin, so as not to affect his management of Larkot City.

There is a reason why the Delhi Sultan and his nobles chose to surrender rather than flee to Tatar bandit-controlled territory...... The two of them were mortal enemies, and neither side ever kept the other's prisoners!

Tatar robbers who capture the Delhi Sultan's army will be dragged to death directly by their horses...... The men of the Delhi Sultan's army, who caught the Tatar bandits, trampled them to death with war elephants.

Moreover, the nobles also heard that the army that attacked them never killed prisoners, so they simply chose to surrender.

It's that simple.

After Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin received the sultans and their nobles, he immediately loaded them onto ships and sent them directly to the island of happiness at the mouth of the Red Sea, and at the same time, he allowed them to carry some of their personal property.

This was an exile of them, and they were never allowed to leave the place.

The returned military prisoners were temporarily held in an open-air prison to be sent to the Nankai area...... There, Captain Huang Poluo, who was in charge of development and construction, wrote a letter to Chairman Wu Dapeng almost every two months, desperately begging for labor...... It didn't matter whether it was hired labor, captive labor, slave labor, even if it didn't matter their race or the color of their skin, in his words, even if it was all women.

Cultivating cotton fields requires great physical strength, and it also requires a lot of animal power and advanced agricultural tools, which women cannot do...... But cotton picking and ginning are too suitable for them.

The job, though simple and easy, was so boring and annoying that the new black laborers were tired of doing it, and they used to get together secretly to sing and dance, and not to pick peaches at all.

At this time, the overseers arranged by Captain Huang Poluo became angry, shouting and scolding, whipping, and all means were used until they were convinced.

If they don't work hard, when will they be able to earn back their money from selling their bodies, and how can they get a good life for good food and good clothing?!

But they privately compared, and thought that among the black laborers, the blacks of the eastern North were better, with long hands and long feet, and they were gentle.

And the blacks in the East of the South are too complacent.

Of course, when they used the western blacks later, they found that those people were really fucked up, the whole person was black and bright, short and strong, and dared to run away and resist at every turn!

Captain Huang Poluo had to choose some ruthless people to be overseers, and let them lead the Canarian dogs from Liberty Island to patrol back and forth...... It wasn't until those guys earned their money from selling their bodies that they were able to regain their freedom.

Some of those people stayed and became free people in the Nankai area...... Others left the Nankai area alone, determined to return to their hometowns.

Director Huang Poluo looked helplessly at the back of them leaving, and really wanted to catch them back again!

But the laws of the empire work just as well here...... He could only endure it.

As a result, Captain Huang Poluo often said to President Wu Dapeng in letters:

"My Nankai area now has hundreds of thousands of acres of cotton fields...... And the weather is far more suitable for cotton growth than Shandong, if you support my labor, let this place beyond there is just around the corner! ”

His ambitions leaped onto the page.

Chairman Wu Dapeng was speechless for a moment after receiving the letter...... The Nankai region is nothing more than a transit point for trade to Europe in their development plans, as long as it can maintain a certain supply capacity......

However, no one thought that the casually appointed director Huang Poluo would be able to make it bigger and stronger.

Let South Africa become a production base for cotton grains?

And then build a mining base for precious metals there?

Finally, let it become an industrial, agricultural, fishery and forestry complex with a certain production and processing capacity?

Chairman Wu Dapeng sighed comfortably, this situation is too beautiful...... They changed history, but they didn't have full control over its course...... That's a good thing.

Director Huang Poluo's favorite is the Japanese laborers, don't look short, they are obedient and smart...... However, their wages are getting higher and higher, and it is distressing to use.

Moreover, there are even a few Japanese businessmen who have settled in the Nankai area and set up shops here!

They came here on the heels of the Great Song merchants and their Goryeo merchants.

Director Huang Poluo gave them a warm welcome, and they came to build shops with money, manpower, and some of them brought building materials to buy land and pay taxes from him...... He was so welcome!
